About

The man behind Jollobajano. I am a computer scientist,
psychologist. I have also studied mathematics. I wrote my first
program in 1982.

5 REM Hello World
10 PRINT "Hello World! "
20 GOTO 10

Since then I have learned and used a lot of programming languages
beside Basic. I have programmed in (among others)

QWERTY

Pascal

Borland Pascal

Modula2

C

Object C

Borland C

C++

Java

XML/XSLT/XSL:FO/XPATH/HTML

CSS/SASS/LESS

JavaScript

YAML

Tex

LaTex

Markdown

Common Lisp

Emacs Lisp

Forth

Fortran

Prolog

Simula

HyperCard

different flavours of assembly

machine code

Matlab/Octave

R

SPSS/PSPP

SQL

Rapid

Perl

Python

Ruby

Bash

Go

and all those config files and small script languages.

I used to be an expert C/C++/Borland C programmer and laced this with
the occasional Pascal/Borland Pascal. In 1995 my very good friend
Johan Eker returned from his post doc at Berkeley University with a
paper from a certain James Gosling which he presented to me. I was
initially skeptic to this “obvious C clone”. Over the time I’ve seen
the light and by now I have programmed in Java for the last 20 years.

I love Open Source, Free Software the fruits of communal effort. A huge
fan of Linux and Unixes. I enjoy Emacs over Eclipse, Maven over make
and Ant, Git over both CVS and SVN and all that goes with this.

My main focus these days are Java EE, IT (with computing besides the
CRUD) as well as AI, graphs and search methodologies.

Jollobajano is my tech, science, etc blog. I wish I was a better
writer: I am thinking that I will be, given enough practice by
blogging.
